At the beginning of this month I spent some time updating our COOP (Continuity of Operations Plan). This plan, give us guidance in the event the city suffers failure of infrastructure. It help us get back up and running.

We spent a lot of time this month, giving the budget a deep dive review and doing some fine tuning. Council will be receiving some supplemental budgets in the near future to correct for shortfalls, loss of contract and in some cases, adjust for unexpected tax revenues.

I continue to meet monthly with the Fire Chief and the School Superintendent. These meetings are very helpful and allow us the opportunity to problem solve overlapping issues and gain insights form peers on other matters.

On May 8th, Mayor King, Councilor Exner and I met with youth at the Sandy High-school for our first Youth Town Hall. What an amazing group of young adults we met. Meetings will continue at the start of school in September.

We are making great strides in our move towards a new software that will allow us to manage our public meeting minutes, contracts and other documents. Training for council and the planning commission on ICompass will be coming soon.

We are working on processes, forms and infrastructure surrounding the use of the Sandy Community Campus.  The goal is to minimize liability and provide as much access to citizens as possible.
